The Colony is a small but fast-growing corner of the North Dallas metroplex, and it has exactly two dedicated coworking options worth knowing: Roam Grandscape, a polished 28,000 sq ft workplace inside the Grandscape entertainment district, and Ollio Office Suites, a veteran-owned independent spot on Old Town's Main Street. This is a genuinely two-horse market, so rather than pad this guide with filler, we'll compare the real trade-offs between them.
Good news for your wallet: The Colony runs cheaper than Austin or downtown Dallas. Day passes here land around $50 and month-to-month memberships start near $139 — a fraction of big-city rates. Here's how the two spaces stack up.
Roam Grandscape (5752 Grandscape Blvd, Suite 225) is the larger, more hotel-like of the two — 28,000 square feet with 70 private offices, 17 technology-equipped meeting and event rooms, a full-service coffee bar, and an outdoor terrace overlooking The Stage and Lawn at Grandscape. It sits just off Highway 121 with ample free parking, surrounded by shopping, restaurants, and entertainment, which makes it a natural choice for client meetings and teams that want to impress.
Membership is month-to-month starting around $139/month for coworking access (which also covers other Roam locations), and drop-in day passes run about $50/day. If you regularly host clients or need real conference rooms rather than a corner of a cafe, this is the stronger pick.
Ollio Office Suites (7552 Main St) is the independent, community-rooted option — veteran-owned, established in 2018, and a member of The Colony Chamber of Commerce. It's centrally located along Main Street in Old Town, with lake views from the second floor and a genuinely eco-conscious build: solar-powered electricity, energy-efficient lighting, sustainable flooring, and water-conserving fixtures throughout.
Ollio leans toward private office suites and professional conference rooms alongside shared coworking, making it a good fit for solo professionals and small businesses who want a quieter, locally owned home base rather than a big branded floor. Pricing isn't published publicly, so contact Ollio directly for current suite and coworking rates — expect small-market Dallas-suburb pricing rather than downtown numbers.
Pick Roam Grandscape if you want polish, plentiful bookable meeting rooms, a coffee bar, and the buzz (and free parking) of the Grandscape district — plus reciprocal access to Roam's other locations if you move around the metroplex. Pick Ollio Office Suites if you'd rather support a local, veteran-owned space with a sustainable footprint, lake views, and a calmer Main Street setting.
Both are worth touring in person before committing. If you're deciding, grab a Roam day pass to test-drive it and book a walk-through at Ollio — an afternoon in each will tell you more than any spec sheet.
